Awesome Store – Slightly High-end Version of DAISO?

Jioh and Lena are back at it again in Tokyo Dome City and this time we discovered another amazing and hidden gem: Awesome Store. Yes, it’s really called that!

Awesome Store is kind of like a “high-end” Daiso. Most of they’re products are over 100 yen, but they are still really cheap- but their lowest item they sell is 20 yen. How is that even possible?! They sell straighteners for only 600-900 yen, stationery ranging from 98 yen, fashion accessories from 300 to 1000 yen, and so much more. Want to buy a cute gift for your furry friends at cheap prices? Say no more, Awesome Store has your back. They sell dog toys for only around 300 yen, cute outfits and bowties for your dog and cat, and even dog treats!

Here are some of the things they sell that caught our eye:

Eco Bags

¥205 (including tax)

The first thing you can see when you enter Awesome Store is their eco bags. It comes with 7 different designs, and it’s only 205 yen including tax! You can buy one of these eco bags and use as shopping bags, saving the planet. Or if you’re like Lena who lives in a city where they banned plastic bags, this is a perfect cheap option for you to buy. Souvenir and functional.

Fruit Collection

Large Dishes: ¥302 (including tax)

Small Dishes: ¥194 (including tax)

Invite guests over to your house and wow them with your dishware. I’m sure they won’t mind eating out of a kiwi spoon. It’s a great conversation starter too!

Sponge: ¥105 (including tax)

Sponges can be fun too! Add summer vibe with this sponge.

Car Air Freshener
